Forgiveness and Its Challenges
Transcript
we're going to talk about forgiveness and its challenges because believe it or not there are challenges with forgiveness just like there are challenges in transforming the world there shouldn't be challenges but there are there shouldn't be challenges with changing the world and there shouldn't be challenges with your body becoming healed and there shouldn't be challenges with forgiveness but in this world there are because there's parts of us that cling the body clings to its illness the
ego clings to its control and so on so it's kind of the condition the world we created but that too needs forgiving so that it can give up the ghost a little quicker a little more easily a little more ah you know gently but a lot of people assume that forgiveness should just be kind of oh it's you know you just suddenly shift and there's peace that's true but there are some moments of hesitancy there are some challenges with you or I anybody accepting forgiveness so I want to kind of just address some of those first of all
you're going to you could say I'm going to start practicing forgiveness I'm gonna start going I'm going to go to a workshop every day and I'm going to practice forgiveness I'm gonna do an online course every day it's called forgiveness plus there we go so we go you know forgiveness on steroids seminar you know so you go and practice forgiveness still you'll go and do a technique and exercise forgiveness forgiveness huh nice music Stephen Harper and you're like oh my god I saw my mother and I
forgave her to a new level that's nice still after you're done the ego is gonna say you should feel guilty that you might not have done it perfectly what do you mean I forget it feels good no no you might have forgotten something dad I oh my and then the head starts obsessing that's I call that hijacking the ego hijacks your head it hijacks your heart it hijacks your thoughts and it starts making you doubt so one challenge with forgiveness is the guilt you start to fill if you haven't done it
perfectly alright the second one is kind of ironic because it's like the first one flip the other way which is if you've not only started doubting the healing forgiveness you but when you start obsessing on the idea that I'm healed instead of doubting maybe I'm not healed you start to assume you're perfectly healed which sets a really dangerous territory here because when you started start walking around on totally Hill you know and then one night pops in a vision of your ex and you're
like I was healed you know so it's very similar to the first but in a way it's the opposite the one you're weak you're weak and you're allowing these little voices to say you might not have done it perfectly the other you're being overly hard I absolutely have forgiven everybody in everything because I went to the seminar and he turned they charge me ten thousand dollars I better be healed you know so there's this hardness and the other ones weak the this one is overly hard and it's
perfectly healed and and that one as a healer counselor for years guys I've done this work I cannot tell you the the the large percentage of people that sit before me and I'll have them do a process and something comes up triggers them and they'll go but I already healed that happens a lot when you make it like an insistence you've given room for the ego again I know it sounds weird because you would think no I have the right to affirm that I'm totally guilty it's not a matter of totally healed a truly
spiritual person says yes absolutely it's my intention to be healed oh I just had a wonderful forgiveness process ah I feel so good and expansive and then some creepy person from the past shows up ten days later you're supposed to just go oh okay and do it again instead of that can't be you're sick if you do that it means you've gotten yourself invested and that's very sad because if you have to be healed if you have to be perfect if you have to have forgiven everything it means you're still scared of it you
have to go to whatever you know what if it comes up it comes up I'm open the ego as I've said this many times your ego does not know what to do with people like that so it goes boo and you're like okay healing forgiveness wait a minute what okay fine then no boo okay I'm good with that too what do you mean it doesn't know when to do what to do with people that are just okay that are just like if something comes up it comes up because that's that's why some teachers or some students of forgiveness of
spirituality inadvertently get into this kind of a hip trance you know this hypnotic trance of believing that they have to be done and healed I went to a workshop so now I'm completely done if if someone were to say hi welcome you're gonna give me ten thousand dollars we're gonna do a seminar on forgiveness and healing which by the way might not work who's going to go to them but they're being honest when I say it might not work I'm exaggerating it's gonna work but pieces are going to come up it's
possible I'm not saying affirm that more has to be done and I'm not saying to affirm that nothing will happen all healing is all at once no healing has ever done neither extreme I'm saying forgiveness means learning to navigate staying in the center that if something comes up I'll work it I mean it's really not that far into a 12-step concept you see it's like and if it happens no person should go into recovery and say and I'll never be tempted again now that I went to a one one time went to a group
this is a process and you'll stay with it how long you'll just stay with it how long just stay with it how long stay with it then you have teachers that'll cover their butts and say well you know forgiveness is like an onion and you'll have to peel and the layers are always there what kind of teacher is that I mean if that isn't clearly an ego adaptation I don't know what is it's like an onion there's always layers but there's a that's not true I mean have you ever cut an onion in half or
peeled an onion there's actually a point where there's no more layers so I don't know why they say that it's like an onion the layers never end like mint no wonder I mean you have problems when you when you eat an onion I mean really have you never run out of layers it just doesn't make sense but people come up with these weird spiritual precepts to say it is like an onion there are layers they do end the point is you have tears in the meantime first of all yeah second of all it stinks to have to do this work no but
you have tears you'll have tears but when you say but how much more as soon as you ask it means you have an issue with there being more therefore you have work to do it's when you don't care the ego goes you must care but I see I don't but that means you won't go to heaven that's uh yeah it's fine I already kind of there you know you're gonna go to hell no I don't think so I'm gonna give you more memories that's okay because it's interesting ego the more you bring up the more I'm gonna release
them and then the less power you have then I won't give you any issues to forgive I'm good with that too you see like it's it's like you're just stoned and you don't care that's what spirituality could be like it's just like I'm chill and it's true it's a state of consciousness that you've heard Buddha talked about you've heard you know Lao Tzu or whomever in in history mystics there's this wow I get it now there really is that that's what it's
called awakening you know it's oh my god I get it this world seemed to have power that it doesn't really have and that feels really good but it's okay to also own that there might be some challenges along the way there might be some challenges with for even forgiveness you know there might be some triggers here and there there might be some you know I thought I was done whatever the case may be memories pop up please please you're not doing yourself any good to judge yourself when something you thought was
gone pops up or something you didn't think was an issue pops up well that can't be happening but it is so just release now do you realize if you listen carefully to what I'm describing the person who would not do what I'm advising today would be a person who has not yet learned to forgive themselves the one that says I should have been done ah oh I'm sorry honey it sounds like you're judging yourself but I should have been done but I thought that and I didn't know I know and I'm sorry that that kind
of bothers you but it sounds to me like forgiveness today is going to be directed at yourself do you see that watch that carefully because there is you know there is the level of working on others you know forgiving others people really underestimate the need to forgive themselves and it doesn't mean just for some huge naughty thing you've done even these little pecking away at your your peace is still a need to heal and forgive ourselves so the ego wants wants us to think about anything but peace I have issues I shouldn't have
issues I shouldn't have this shouldn't have come it's it's not peace so we learned to breathe we learned to say okay I'm gonna have to start working on myself problem is if self forgiveness is perceived as something appalling like I don't want to think I've made mistakes I don't want to look at myself because that's what we do we typically are dealing you know projecting stuff on other people so that we don't have to look at ourselves I mean honestly I mean like like you know there's the old
saying you know some of us have heard when it comes to people who are anti-gay turn out often to you know to have those tendency themselves it's called projection but just take it off that topic and put it anywhere racial gender sexual preferences it's called projection when when you start talking about somebody else being a certain way you know because all of them are that way it's something disturbed in here and and we have this tendency to think that once I sneeze oh that feels better now you're
cold isn't gone you just sneezed you alleviated a little bit of a building symptom falling you follow like that like a sneeze and all you did was sneeze it doesn't mean you're healed when you project on to people that's what the ego tells you doesn't that feel better that it was them and not you it does then you become addicted to sneezing or projecting what are you saying there's amen and so you know like yes so self forgiveness can be perceived as something that's like unfortunately some
people are going to say self forgiveness almost feels selfish think about it listen to what I just said and go inside with it some of us most of us if not all of us believe that if I forgive myself that's a selfish act for example if I've done some harm to another person I'm not worthy of forgiveness I did something very bad and in our head it's the ego that says you can't be forgiven you shouldn't forgive other people that now some things you are allowed to forgive the Eagles and that one's fine
which it didn't ever really believe that but by making you think some things are fine to forgiving others or not it's already completely obliterated your mind because as soon as you think some things are agreeably except ibly not forgivable then you're already in an unforgiving mind anyway so it slips a couple in that seemed okay but it keeps you in the unforgiving mind so the same thing happens for ourselves we can forgive ourselves we should be forgiving ourselves but there's something inside
of us that says that's selfish you know if you did something wrong and you just let it go you know that's selfish you know who do you think you are you get what I'm saying on that one it's a very strange covert kind of thing I have to pause for a second because I want to make sure the speakers on outside because there's people watching outside okay you what great it's on thank you Wow so I forget myself for that it's nice so so modern tests in forgiveness are currently going on right and we can
think that okay I'm supposed to do some forgiveness of watching something on the news and it appalled me forgiving I'm hearing about things forgiving virus and rioting into whatever forgiveness forgiveness true but at some point there's something in there that is us that has to be forgiven you're not supposed to actually just forgive all the people on TV still at some point shut the TV and ask what's going on inside of yourself because whatever it is if it's not peace it needs forgiving
I don't care if it's anger sadness I'm stuffing reactions inside I'm annoyed I'm slightly this like whatever it is you shut the TV and you say I'm actually doing more good to forgive what I believe I saw then to blame others and just forgive them it's more important that I forgive myself because everything is a projection of ourselves to the outside world all right so you know there's a great line our patron saint see as you know the Earth Wind and Fire band there's an altar down over there at the
end to the earth universe so one line in one of their songs I'm just paraphrasing slightly but he says you know life is rushing by in a stream to the kingdom of doing and what he's saying is this stuff that goes on inside of us projects on the outside into the world of doing doing meaning the manifesting world if we want to see a different world we have to do it on the inside mostly it's okay to forgive the outside and people and actions in reaction that's fine but when we find peace within we will
not be able to cause harm on the outside it would be impossible if people knew who they were they could not perceive differences that would cause them to act in hurtful ways so it's interesting that people just very slowly plot along they can have religious change like Martin Luther saying you know the Catholics are starting to sell favors that's wrong favors in those days it was like you know I have an idea since we're the clergy living in the Rome and the Vatican and all this is brilliant we could just tell people for 10 grand
we're gonna absolve all your sins people were lining up I've only got four grand oh well we'll absorb you know will absolve some of your sins but if you happen to make some money in the near future if I were you I'd come back so that you don't burn in hell for the other you know bet you didn't get forgiven I mean it's strange and they did that because obviously greed and control and all that but they also did it because some of the people that implemented that system some of those people actually
started buying property and and they were indebted to the people that sold it to him so they came up with a way to pay their property by selling forgiveness that was never real that was never you know so Martin Luther came up and said no that other things are wrong and he created this in a sense revolution and people did suffer for a period but it turned around it turned around you you can't sell forgiveness it has to happen on the inside you can't sell world peace it really doesn't happen the people are thinking
it's it's political people that are gonna give you the peace you're looking for no politician is that enlightened to where they're just going to be able to see through it all none of them some are more intended on higher consciousness and I Knight I do believe that some have really had a high intention some Republican some Democrat so you may not agree with me because you're gonna go by your affiliations and all no only people in mind I think can be spiritual you know I've said this in a talk reality
was last week but I Jimmy Carter was trying to be spiritual and though and that world beat him up Obama I think was stalled in a lot of things he was trying to do because of certain games that people play it against him they didn't just go you know what wait a minute Senate Congress check this out this guy's actually got it together he feels I can see his aura he's like sincere they didn't do that so it's not easy to bring that into a world of politics even the politics of religion and I said this a while back
even so-called spiritual leaders got twisted by some of this stuff in this world the the new spirituality is going to come from the students rising up into those positions that's I always have believed that well I'd say always probably I started announcing that in the 90s that that's what I could see it I could just see it there's these sincere students that are now teachers because of their level of sincerity and commitment and study and they suddenly became rather than ones that slotted in
like a politician and started becoming the authors that sell a billion copies of thing garbage I sold billion copies of garbage so now everybody listens to me but it's still garbage I love the depth and sincerity of those who who might still be humble enough to call themselves students that are actually right on they got it see because it's not the sales it's the consciousness and the consciousness can be in a five-year-old if that's what their first priority is the first priority is consciousness your
five-year-old you got it you can be the first priority is your position your politic or whatever and you could be 55 and not have it it's consciousness so the outside manipulations and maneuvers aren't going to work but it's the consciousness and nothing restores us to deep true spiritual awareness and identity and God than forgiveness and forgiveness we'll go through stages of forgiving others then it shifts towards forgiving some it just happens that's the natural process so if you find yourself thinking lately
or at any time in your life that some things are happening and and it's bringing you more memories in here rather than conversations out there you're starting to have more thoughts and memories of people from your past that's a great sign well no because the stuff about me I thought I did that I'm starting to work on others actually the longer you spend forgiving others you're actually conveniently avoiding yourself this is great I met a whole new group of people I don't like so now I'm gonna work on my
love forgiveness for you and you and you and you and you and you and you and you interview but as long as I don't have to look here you know and it's so much more efficient to say well there's a hundred of you that I don't like and one of me I could work on a hundred of you which could take lifetimes or I could work on me that could take minutes hours maybe it's far more efficient but it's too scary because if I turn and start working on myself I start finding all these creepy thoughts that make me not
like the hundred in the first place you see what I'm saying there this this is like the you know people often say Michael what's the difference between or similarities between judgment and resentment they're kind of the same when people say what it would you know the difference is resentment judgment you can use them interchangeably and they're kind of the same but there is a difference if you want to get technical judgment is what you do first then you begin to resent the person so that you're building a
case for your original judgment so the resentment has to build because it becomes the fuel to keep the judgment alive in the first place and judging you wait here comes some resentment yes now okay now I'm going to just judge you forever because I felt resentment toward you it fuels it technically you can say they're the same because they they happen so quickly that they look the same but they're not so when you feel like you have a resentment the resentment is almost like again the fuel it's the thinking that keeps the
judgment alive so sometimes you just go right after judgment and catch it release it with it would die the the fuel that was fueling it but sometimes you're going to find yourself working a little of resentment at a time till you can get to the root of the judgment does that make sense and the resentments the stuff that your head starts conjuring to justify the judgment and the and the resentment is almost like this underlying feeling that's left you know this overall it's an internal feeling but it's a an overall feeling that's
left like a just a yucky vibe you know just like an inharmonious song being played in the background of what became a judgment at some point so resentments have to be released they're never justifiable even if you think they are but don't worry even if you think they're just to file justifiable you do your work and then you'll we all come to that understanding we don't always jump right to forgiving this that gone and feel peace it sometimes happens in layers and if you take five lifetimes to
forgive a particular person at least you did it like I said when I started judging yourself for not doing it quickly enough isn't going to help so in a sense that's that's that note on resentment and I think this original question was sort of asking a bit of that too so I wanted to it address it so something happened and I shared this on the online zoom group the other day but I'm going to share an abbreviated version something happened the other day and it was interesting because I had this dream vision at night and long
story short it was like Jesus came to me and he was saying you know so Michael how you doing you I'm really happy with you the way your forgiveness and you don't have any major charges with people and love and I'm like yeah see yeah see that's how it's gonna be done man you know and I'm like yeah isn't that great peace and love and forgiveness and Jesus like yeah it's amazing and then he goes BAM and he puts a image of someone in my face and I was like oh oh you got me you know so there was this this kind
of funny little thing that that happened just you know flashed an image I'm like oh not them oh oh you know then oh yeah so it kind of went around with this you know this and it all happened within a fraction of a moment and but immediately I saw it and I thought oh yeah you know and then I said and you know and and this is the dialogue we can have with love so I said and you know because I'm gonna be honest I'm not gonna go that didn't know I didn't flinch but you did you do know I didn't Michael you want to
show the Acacia crackered I'll show you this you flinch we have video so I just go yeah yeah okay and I said and you know what's interesting what's interesting is that I said this was an aunt and uncle that that I you know only met maybe saw maybe half a dozen times in my life but every time I did they had this thing this tendency the insistence to create conflict between people they were on from my mom's side of the family so they wanted her to hate my dad they wanted my parents to hate me I mean it was like
they just did that so I kind of said you know I remember them and and here's what really kind of bothered me and and Jesus didn't say you're wrong oh my god you're judging don't speak like that lalalalala like it needed Jesus needed to protect it he's like yeah yeah you're you know yeah they kind of did do that behaviorally didn't they I said yeah you know and he said but here's here's an another way you could look at this what's the main thing feeling about these people that just kind of triggered
you slightly and I said well you know besides that they created conflict what there's this deeper belief what does it go for Michael come on and I said well you know it's almost like had they not been around there's there's a child inside of me that believed that maybe my parents would not have hated me so much maybe they would have liked me more if it weren't for them causing conflict if all oh so far okay cool and Jesus kind of replied no they would have still not liked you yeah I'm
playing when I say that listen he says you see the child wished that they didn't do that because the child wished because listen if they hadn't done that your parents would have liked you more so the child can go so maybe they really didn't have issues with me it was just caused by these other people and that's where Jesus says that's often what happens with judgments you find someone that will play a convenient roll you see what I just did there so those that couple of people now had become a reason my parents treated me a
certain way which then alleviates so it so we really didn't have issues I guess my parents and I we were great it was just them no no they did what they did it wasn't very kind but don't let them hold any position like that see they become a symbol of and this happens all the time there's a guy out there who says had had my friends not talked me into you know getting stoned and getting a DUI getting arrested I would have a better job today somebody else has had I had this guy not talked me into unprotected you know sex
I wouldn't have gotten pregnant when I was in school and I could have gone to college and guys I'm not saying you're wrong for feeling hurt I'm not saying that at all but what I'm saying is it becomes a convenient person that stands between you and peace and it is a drag that people did this and ended it on and on yeah it is and we've also been the doer to others and the symbol of their if it had this guy over here and not you know said no to dating me I wouldn't have a heartbreak if this girl over here
had to I understand but if if you can't get past these what's what are called idols of judgment then you cannot find peace you cannot achieve forgiveness while holding one of these hostage so when I saw that the good news for me is I have these dialogues I just go with it oh that was that was brilliant instead of how dare you catch me in having a slight judgment remaining I think it was kind of funny Oh Michael you're doing great yeah that's what I think doing a boom oh my god flashcard dang you know it's okay
and I think make it kind of funny now I made it funny does that mean I'm making fun of you if you have a more sick hurt trauma that doesn't you know easily turn to no I'm not I know some of them are very painful but it'll feel even more painful to a person who perceives themselves as small when you realize who you really are all of these such things shrink in comparison to your identity so right now it could be like well Michael don't don't bring on certain memories and I don't want to look at things I don't
want Jesus to flashcard me I don't want Michael to past-life me I don't want any of that because it's really I have some really harsh stuff that went on it's not nice to remember burning at the stake or whatever horrible things have happened in this world it's not it's not wonderful to remember but when you rise into this glorious I am presence they don't have the sting then you start to realize well there's you know now I'm standing in this I am presence and I'm remembering
some things and they don't seem that big of a deal to me now that I am in my I am if I were to shrink down to being the little one that lived in these various lifetimes yeah it hurts more because I'm little in the lifetimes that are big you see but when I'm in the godself I'm really large and the lifetimes look very small in comparison but if you can't even get past your own moments and hurts and annoyances try to imagine how challenging it might be to one day realize you're everybody's hurts what
you thought happened to you and what happened to me you think are separate as we grow spiritually we go from my issues in this life to my issues in all my life oh my god I thought just last year was horrible now you're asking me to kind of process this whole lifetime oh my god then you go okay it feeling kind of clean kind of let's go into all your life times you know that's kind of what it's like spiritual growth it really is it's not just you grow you grow as high as your roots have gone low so into into
your life into yourself you go and yourself only goes so far and then you become ourselves and then it's like well now wait a minute I didn't mind processing some of my stuff but I'm not gonna process his hers theirs but she but your all your old one no I don't want to be one that nevermind i erase all prayers affirmations and decrees about oneness i want to be separate so that i can be through my issues and go to god you know men you hear this voice that's not possible you know you don't get to
heaven as a separate person you go as one oh well just forget it then I'm just gonna go back to reincarnating and waiting for everybody else to get it and then they'll they'll have the love for me to kind of say alright come on you know I might be the last one but at least I will not have had to take responsibility that's how this stuff works it really does it's really strange it's sad it's kind of I don't know scary but it's how it has to happen we work on ourselves we work on ourselves ourself
ourselves and there's just it essentially there's a point where you you don't react see some traditions have told you you have to become perfect to go home and that has led us to reincarnation and spiritual path I mean it's good that people go you know I'm going to improve myself that's good but you have to understand there's there's more to it there's something deeper that nobody wants to know yet by and large the masses don't want to know this yet some think it's you just go to church on
Sunday you just go and you know I know you don't understand anything they say just sit there you know resenting being there you know but just make yourself go cuz sometime that's as good as it gets for you religion then you grow a little more and you say no it's I don't want to just sit I want to go somewhere where I understand so you deep and you go somewhere deeper and that's fantastic and you start realizing I'm not just gonna heaven hell so I don't buy that I realize that that there's something
called karma and reincarnation and I'm working on myself and I pass like this and I rebirth that and I'm kind of now I'm involved and I'm a participant and that feels good to you Congrats and you think so maybe after so many lifetimes you know then so instead of trying to behave and not go to hell I'm gonna change behave and change it into B and have behaved and don't go to hell be in have and you might go to heaven oh that's the difference see between religion and spirituality remember religion is for those who fear
hell spirituality is for those who have been there right so so I'm gonna behave religiously I'm gonna be in have spiritually oh good so I'm gonna live a better life I'm going to you know practice self-help and improvement and so on but there is still another path that people don't yet want to know about by-and-large which is even though you're still trying to evolve to become a better more enlightened person and go to heaven there's the acceptance that you already are evolved and you already are in God
and in heaven well wait but but I've spent a lot of money on rebirthing sessions you know you still do it still drink herbal tea do your yoga and so on but do it as though you're home do it instead of what the feeling of I've got just go I got to do more and I got you know ease up you're not at a gym you know you're in life and it'll be easier for you to not say I got it I got to do one more rep just ease up one more lifetime one more rep stop what if just ask what if I'm already enough remember
last week's talk what if God is already enough so it's like what if God actually created us holy Wow then I guess I have no issues and no judgments and then something pops up and you judge yourself again I'm already holy in reality but while I'm on earth I'm still remembering times when I didn't feel that way and it's called karma and reincarnation oh that changes my whole view of reincarnation so if I have to reincarnate I'm just gonna do it because there's no attachment to not
reincarnating to have Carm I don't have karma but if you do you do if you're as holy as you want to say you're holy you know as much as you want to believe that then learn to sit in your center of holiness and let lifetimes go by let memories you know just move by oh my god there's a memory I didn't realize I still had oh okay well oh there's one I didn't oh my god trigger no it's okay love you man and the way you react to memories and hurts judgments resentments will already tell you how much you are
along the path how far you are along the path remember that okay it's not no I don't have any issues insisting that you don't have them that gets you there it's if they do arise how do you respond to them patience love you know treat yourself like a child in that sense you know if your child if a five-year-old came up to you and said mommy daddy I had this dream that in another lifetime I did something naughty oh you're kidding oh that's terrible oh all right honey we have two options
these people say you're going to hell for that and it might happen and I can't help you if you go there you know I can't help you sweetie child's you know but that's it and that might not be true oh thank god the other one say you'll just have to keep coming back forever due to what you did I'm still having post-trauma the you know the child's still having post-trauma over this or you can say you know it's really interesting what if you're the dreamer of the dream what if once upon a time you dreamt that
you were less than holy and in that dream you're kind of flow into the universe landed on earth acted like a Nimrod you know did some hurtful things to other people and people hurt you and yet it doesn't affect your holiness yeah I think a five-year-old to go I like that one so which one and here's the funny thing child you get to choose which one this isn't a game show where you end up with the one you didn't want door number one will just tell you is hell door number two is incarnate forever which by the way is
hell door number 3 you are as God created you I mean think about what a child would say daddy mommy can I do yes you can choose three really and then I get to be holy yes and you'll still probably have nightmares once in a while of the other but they're just dreams oh I like that if I have one of those dreams and I get scared and I forget that it's a dream can I come and snuggle with you absolutely that's good parenting but it's also a holy relationship because when you can say to your mom your dad your partner your
friend when I get scared can I can I you know can I kind of call on you yes because you're a professional counselor no because you're a good human being and that's all we need to do for each other people are going to wince and feel pain and reacting to this world your job and my job is to say what I just said without saying it without preaching it without telling them oh well what you're seeing on the news is an illusion that's insensitive our job is to know it and then find the most tactful way to tell a
five-year-old or whomever else they might be and that oh my god that takes mastery that takes stealth okay takes brilliance it takes stump because it's it's knowing this much and then realizing that I can only tell you this much that's why Jesus said for now I have to give you milk compared to meat meaning you you're not ready to digest spiritually digest this much so you know I'll just give you this much but when you're ready you're allowed to go okay can you widen that a bit more can you
deepen that a little a little more right that's what we have the right to do so is I'm starting to wrap up the last thing I wanted to say was it's like I said forgiving others then forgive himself and then realizing in our holiness there's nothing left to forgive because we're back to whole holiness but the same goes for the word compassion some people are going to say okay you go from judging and then you start practicing forgiveness and then you learn compassion compassion is this wonderful applicable
technique of kind of staying detached from all the Drummond who did what do and you just say no matter you're the victim or the victimizer I'm gonna breathe your feelings your concepts into my heart literally technique-wise ritual I'm gonna breathe it into my heart which I've already packed with compassion through processes and ceremonies and so forth and I'm going to transmute and transform your feelings through my heart of compassion fantastic the the imagery you have of Quan Yin she's usually she
almost it almost has to be holding a bottle which she usually though is pouring out and it means the compassionate heart of the mother I have learned to be the compassionate heart of the mother that pours compassion out upon others and the world that's why the tipping of that jar okay that's what compassion is it sounds like that's the highest but it isn't if you want to go a little deeper remember this compassion still implies there's a problem that needs compassion there's going to be a point of consciousness
that people reach where there doesn't even need to be at an application of compassion nor forgiveness back in our holiness everything is bliss again there's no need to correct anything fix anything healing none of that's there in God so for now humans problems mystics and master humans they forgive and apply compassion to help heal the problems that's the second level up third level up is I'm beyond all of that and everybody's holy again do I think everybody's ready to rush into that one
no do I think almost anybody is No most people are barely even that willing to go from hurt and hate to love and forgiveness so if that's where they're at then that's where we live for now my consciousness knows about this one my consciousness applies this one I know this but I'll apply this for now until we all get to know this even Jesus who becomes one with God still hangs out in the ethers to communicate with human beings about their day to day stuff when he says hey Michael how's it
going that flash card and when he does that he's not he's not hanging only in the holiness of God and saying oh Michael let's experience holiness he has to meet me halfway to the point where there's still a human wanting to heal things and show me a flash card but if I insisted on being on the first level hurt and hate he could say anything and I wouldn't hear it and that's why some people find that they cannot hear it cannot fathom the concept of love and forgiveness because they're
already preoccupied with hurt and hate understandably so by the way that's called compassion understandably so the things we've done to each other it makes total sense that people would have a hard time shifting into love and forgiveness absolutely right you see what I'm saying there so even on the human plane hurts and hates do your best to bring that to love and forgiveness through patience through compassion whatever other means seem right for you let's take a few centering breaths please setting aside all the stuff of life and
of the world several breaths in here the words I am exhale the word relaxed like a self-hypnosis I am relaxed and set aside all else love music or the silence to become a receptacle that your mind enters so if it's quiet if it's calming whatever you're hearing kind of slip into that place and let it in a sense take you and then let's imagine something for a
moment imagine a room empty in front of you with a hundred chairs and just will do a an abbreviated version of this but a hundred chairs and you're standing up at the front of the room looking at a hundred chairs now allow from any time in your life and if you want to do clusters of people you can do that so we'll make it easy by doing clusters of people allow yourself to remember ten faces names or images or events that you've had in elementary school if you can come up with ten people or less the
ones you can see as love through the eyes of love healing peace if you can see upon their face like a glow of the presence of God put them in the chairs in the room any of them that trigger slightly set them in the front row just let it rapid-fire ten people from middle school ten or less that you can remember from the mind of holiness and love appreciation put them in that audience out there anywhere they sit anyone that triggers put them in the front row the objective be spontaneous don't try to control it don't try to
prove yourself spiritual let them go where they need to go organically ten high school those you feel holy with put them in the room any triggers in the front row College er after high school early 20s even if it's not college it could be at home it could be dating it could be marriage it could be children 10 during that time period blissful ones in the audience any triggers front row anyone from your late 20s early 30s the
ones that come to mind you have holy witness with put him in the audience and he triggers front row all through your 40s to 10 in the audience or front row anybody you've ever dated married or been intimate with which may have applied during those times but we're just doing another category even if they rejected you romantically if they come to mind holy visions of those people in the
audience trigger people front row we do the extra categories in case they slipped by when we used age for now we'll just do one more and you can do the rest at home one more in two parts females that you remember blissfully you're grateful for their presence put them in the audience triggers front row males and the audience or front row if you're on the spiritual path the chances are you have far more people in
all the seats than in the front row but the work is this give thanks to the people in all those rows thank you thank you somehow we've come to my ability to see you as beautiful thank you give thanks soak in those good relations but let it also give you fuel and strength to then turn and deal with the ones in the front row let the love and appreciation you feel for the many give you what you need to deal with the few and when you have time you can do more categories it doesn't take much you can use anything you want as a cat people
I've met on vacation people that I run into on the roads types of people not individuals impatient people addicted people and for many you just say the word politician and you might as well just March them to the front row and set them down because that's an automatic trigger for some religions the leaders of religions any category bring them forward and at some point many of them are sitting in the front row could be 2 it could be 10 could be 100 if that's the life you've had either way my intention is love and forgiveness I
don't have to forgive all the ones in the front row right now I get to choose when I'm just acknowledging they're there but I'm saying for now all of those individuals in the front row past present or future in the front row today it is my intention to march us all home together no matter who it is home we go together you are a thought of God and I will not deny your holiness your actions may betray that you forgot who you were my judgments on you clearly betrayed that I have forgotten Who I am but
together I am committed to going home with you back to heaven I know I can't go home without you so it's my intention to work on this and then a few more centering breaths in your own way doing what you want with the final half a minute stretching breathing centering giving thanks how's everyone feeling good any trouble bringing people to the front row remembering people that will end up in the front row okay all right so thank you so much gratitude gratitude gratitude abundant gratitude of all the
places we could be today of all the things we could be thinking we actually chose God as a priority to come here and sing together and pray together meditate together we chose God as a priority this is the good news of the Lord the light of God surrounds us the love of God in folds us the power of God protects us and the presence of God watches over us wherever we are God is I am we are and so it is many blessings god bless we'll see you all soon join us next week
